UNITED NATIONS Nike Air Span II Espaņa , Sept. 3 (Xinhua) -- With an estimated 5,000 desperate Syrians fleeing their homes every day, the spiraling violence in the war-torn country has now created more than 2 million refugees, the United Nations refugee agency announced Tuesday,
There is no sign the "humanitarian calamity" will end anytime soon Nike Flex 2018 RN Espaņa , warned the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees ( UNHCR) in a statement released here.
"The war is now well into its third year and Syria is haemorrhaging women, children and men who cross borders often with little more than the clothes on their backs," UNHCR said. "This trend is nothing less than alarming, representing a jump of almost 1.8 million people in 12 months."
One year ago Tuesday, the number of Syrians registered as refugees or awaiting registration stood at about 230 Nike Odyssey React Espaņa ,670 people, the UN agency said.
UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres said Syria had become "a disgraceful humanitarian calamity with suffering and displacement unparalleled in recent history."
"The only solace is the humanity shown by the neighbouring countries in welcoming and saving the lives of so many refugees," he said.
More than 97 percent of Syria's refugees are hosted by countries in the immediate surrounding region. As of the end of August, the number of Syrians registered as refugees or pending registration was 110,000 in Egypt Nike Epic React Espaņa , 168,000 in Iraq, 515,000 in Jordan, 716 Nike Air Maestro II Espaņa ,000 in Lebanon and 460,000 in Turkey.
Over half of them are children under 17 years of age.
The refugee crisis has placed an overwhelming burden on the host countries'infrastructures, economies and societies, and with an average of almost 5,000 Syrians fleeing into these countries every day Nike Air Scream Espaņa , the need for international support has reached a critical stage.
"The world risks being dangerously complacent about the Syrian humanitarian disaster," said UNHCR Special Envoy and renowned actress, Angelina Jolie. "The tide of human suffering unleashed by the conflict has catastrophic implications. If the situation continues to deteriorate at this rate, the number of refugees will only grow, and some neighbouring countries could be brought to the point of collapse."
Jolie said that the world was "tragically disunited" on how to end the Syria conflict.
"But there should be no disagreement over the need to alleviate human suffering Nike Air Footscape Espaņa , and no doubt of the world's responsibility to do more," she said. "We have to support the millions of innocent people ripped from their homes, and increase the ability of neighbouring countries to cope with the influx."
Ministers from Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey will meet Wednesday with UNHCR in Geneva in a bid to accelerate international support Nike Flyknit Trainer Espaņa , UN officials said here.
A further 4.2 million people are displaced inside Syria. Taken together, these numbers -- amounting to more than 6 million people -- mean that more Syrians are now forcibly displaced than people from any other country.
With the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) increasing, the World Food Programme (WFP) appealed Tuesday for humanitarian access inside Syria to avoid a situation in which hunger becomes an additional factor pushing more people to flee the country.
Last month, WFP was only able to dispatch food for 2.4 million people -- short of its goal of feeding three million people a month -- as a result of the deteriorating security situation.
The UN agency said it plans to further scale up its operations to reach 4 million during October, as recent assessments found that agricultural production will further decline over the next 12 months if the present conflict continues.
Meanwhile Nike Air Force 270 Espaņa , the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) is supporting a major push to ensure that crisis-affected children in Syria could keep learning.
WELLINGTON， March 1 (Xinhua) -- Rising milk powder prices and falling consumer electronics prices helped drive the largest rise in New Zealand's terms of trade for more than three years in the last quarter， the government statistics agency said Wednesday.
The terms of trade -- a measure of the purchasing power of a country's exports -- in the quarter ending December 2016 were up 5.7 percent， according to Statistics New Zealand.
It was the largest quarterly increase since the September 2013 quarter， when the terms of trade for goods rose 7.5 percent.
"The uptick of dairy export prices lifted New Zealand's terms of trade，" business prices manager Sarah Williams said in a statement.
"However， dairy export prices are still about a third lower than they were three years ago."
A 5.7-percent rise in the December quarter meant New Zealand could buy 5.7 percent more imports for the same amount of exports.
While dairy export values were up 9.8 percent in the December quarter， dairy export volumes were down 8.1 percent.
Despite the fall in volumes， New Zealand earned more from the sale of dairy products abroad compared with the September 2016 quarter.
Import prices fell 0.8 percent， largely due to mobile phones and personal computers.
"Ongoing improvements in technology have meant that imports are better value for money，" Williams said.
The latest consumers price index shows that telecommunication equipment fell 89 percent and computing equipment fell 68 percent over the last 10 years， she said.
Analysts said New Zealand's terms of trade would keep rising this year and possibly next year too following the rebound in dairy prices， which began late last year.
An economic note from the ASB Bank said dairy prices were still surging and the terms of trade for the current quarter might challenge the four-decade high set in the June 2014 quarter.
That came against a background of a sustained decline in import prices， which had fallen 18 percent since the end of 2012， it said.
"The weak import price picture owes to glob. http://www.wholesalecollegejerseysforcheap.com/ Wholesale Jerseys China Wholesale Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap College Hockey Jerseys Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Cheap Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys Cheap Authentic NFL Jerseys |
